Jazz & Live electronic music
Jazz musicians began experimenting with electronic music and live electronics in the 1960s by combining jazz performances with pre-recorded tape music. By the mid-1960s, jazz musicians started incorporating electronic instruments and sound effects into live performances. An early influential example was Bernard Parmegiani's 1966 work "JazzEx" which featured a jazz quartet improvising to a pre-recorded electronic tape composition. Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis later pioneered the use of synthesizers in jazz performances in the late 1960s and 1970s. Live electronic music further developed with groups like Musica Elettronica Viva performing fully improvised pieces with electronic instruments in real time.

Playing ARt
This document describes an augmented reality art game called "Playing ARt" that allows players to collaboratively create art using an iPad and augmented reality markers. The game is inspired by the exquisite corpse drawing game and uses an HTML5 canvas to display virtual objects overlaid on real-world markers. Players will pass around the iPad to take turns adding images or drawings to a composite artwork that can then be saved. The game aims to explore new modes of collaborative art production using augmented reality and procedural techniques. It is still in development to refine the user experience and allow more complex interactions.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
